A great haircut doesn’t just improve how you look, it boosts your confidence and keeps your style in check. But how often should men actually get their haircut?

At Sport Clips, it’s a question we hear every day. And the answer depends on a few factors: your hair type, your hairstyle, and how polished you want to look.

General Rule: Every 3 to 5 Weeks

For most men, scheduling a haircut every 3 to 5 weeks keeps your hair looking neat without losing shape. This timing helps maintain clean edges, manage growth, and avoid looking unkempt between cuts.

Hair Length Matters

• Short Styles (fades, crew cuts, buzz cuts): Every 2–3 weeks
  These cuts grow out quickly, and regular trims help maintain their sharp appearance.
• Medium Styles (side parts, textured crops): Every 3–4 weeks
  These styles allow a bit more length, but still need shape maintenance.
• Long Hair: Every 6–8 weeks
  Even longer styles need regular care to avoid split ends and keep layers defined.

Beard and Neck Maintenance

Even if you’re not due for a full haircut, stopping in for a neck trim or beard cleanup every couple of weeks helps you stay polished between visits. At Sport Clips, neck trims are complimentary between MVP haircuts—just another reason to drop by!

Lifestyle Plays a Role

Do you work in a professional setting? Attend frequent meetings? Or maybe you’re just big on personal grooming? If so, staying on a tighter haircut schedule will help maintain that crisp, clean-cut appearance that makes a great impression.
